The apparent end of an era. Linus Torvalds has marked the linux floppy disk driver as orphaned as the maintainer (Jiri) no longer has working hardware.

Taking the plunge, doing a #Debian upgrade.

Has it really been two years since last time? Time flies. This is now 17 years of Debian for me.

#debian working its way out of #twitter #socialcontrolmedia https://larjona.wordpress.com/2019/07/27/a-new-home-for-debian-in-the-mastodon-activitypub-fediverse-follow-debianframapiaf-org-and-possible-future-moves/

What a timeline we live in! The #Linux distribution #Debian just announced that they will be switching Mastodon instance. Why?

"Recent events in the fediverse in general and related to fosstodon.org instance in particular have made me rethink the place where I’d like to handle the @Debian account in the Mastodon/GNU Social/ActivityPub fediverse." https://larjona.wordpress.com/2019/07/27/a-new-home-for-debian-in-the-mastodon-activitypub-fediverse-follow-debianframapiaf-org-and-possible-future-moves/

What kind of ABSOLUTE HORROR could it be that prompted the Debian distribution to abandon the clearly evil and horrible fediverse instance fosstodon.org?

"Recently, an admin of the Fosstodon Mastodon instance made some comments that were disparaging to marginalized folk. The comment was relating to how they wish that a thicker skin would be adopted by some of the people they called “snowflakes”." https://bnolet.me/posts/2019/07/implicit-endorsement/

OMG!!! an admin mentioned that Snowflakes Should Grow a Thicker Skin! What a horrible thought-crime! Debian's decision to move away from that Mastodon instance over that suggestion is completely rational and logical and not at all bat-shit crazy.

Liberal judges blocked Joe McCarthy from exposing the Marxist scum in congress like Lyndon Johnson and dozens of others who would soon vote for Marxist state and open borders. Joe was sold out by the Republican party. Because of the pressure of the liberal media. Does this sound like what continues to go on today? They continue to lie about Joe and make him a lunatic. When truth is Joe was proved right by the liberal congress of the 1960s

Why is so much money sent to the Elijah Cummings district when it is considered the worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the United States. No human being would want to live there. Where is all this money going? How much is stolen? Investigate this corrupt mess immediately!
